Hello everyone! My name is Hamdi, and I was born and raised right here in Granada! As a child I grew up enjoying the beauty of the Alhambra and the Islamic legacy monuments of Andalucía and fell in love with its grand history and architecture. Now, I am fortunate to lead tours and share my passion for this stunning, one of a kind, world landmark. Take advantage of my comprehensive degrees in tourism, languages and history to truly get to know the city and surrounding area! I'm specialised in the Alhambra and the Great Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. I have devoted my life to language and history studies and am eager to share my knowledge and local expertise with you! This won't be your typical tour! My goal in my tours is for history to come to life and for you to be swept away in the magical ambiance of the ancient palaces and landmarks. Granada and Córdoba are very special cities to visit in Andalusia. Both cities represent very well the beginning and the end of Al-Andalus. It has multiple UNESCO world heritage sites. Everything will invite you to fall in love, magnificent gardens, Mosques, Palaces and also enjoying the complex and fascinating history of long lost civilizations and conquerors. So tell me what you're looking for and I can customize the tour just for you! Whether it's architecture you're interested in or the ancient politics of the Old rulers, I can do it all. So come and take a tour! You'll be amazed and what you're going to see and learn! - Official touring guiding license. - Diploma in history and tourism. - Master's degree in Al-Andalus History (specialised in Granada and Córdoba). - Only official tour guide in the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba offering tours in Arabic. - Bachelor's degree in translation and interpreting. - Master's degree in teaching Spanish as a foreign language.

I had the privilege of spending a full day touring Córdoba with Hamdi Tawfiq through Tours by Locals, and it was truly unforgettable. Hamdi was outstanding — warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He brought the city’s history to life, answering every question with clarity and enthusiasm. We visited the Roman Bridge, the Great Mosque-Cathedral, the historic city center, the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos with its beautiful gardens, and some of Córdoba’s famous patios. Hamdi offered rich historical context and highlighted fascinating details throughout. The tour was perfectly paced and deeply engaging. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Córdoba. Thank you, Hamdi, for an exceptional experience!

We enjoyed our time with Hamdi. He did a good job disseminating information, working with a slight mobility issue with one person in our group, and keeping the conversation dynamic. We've used TBL almost 10 times. Hamdi was one of the best.

‏Hamdi provided an exceptional tour experience at the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba. As the only Arabic official guide, his deep knowledge of Islamic history and culture was evident throughout the tour. He expertly guided us through the Islamic architecture, bringing to life the site's remarkable legacy. I highly recommend requesting Hamdi as your guide to gain an authentic, immersive understanding of this remarkable UNESCO World Heritage site.

We took the 6 hour tour of Cordoba with Hamdi. His tour was excellent. He is an extremely knowledgeable, articulate and congenial guide. We recommend his tour without reservations.

Hamdi was amazing. I have taken countless tours on vacations over decades of travel and I'm not exaggerating to say he was the best guide I've ever had. He has a depth of knowledge on every aspect of the sites we visited. He is engaging and went at a pace that accommodated our physical needs without making anyone feel rushed. I can recommend him without any hesitation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Hamdi and learned a lot from him. He is very well spoken and well educated. His Muslim heritage gives him special insights into Andalucían history!
